A dosing pump that delivers "a fixed amount" of medication. This explains how the discharge amount is determined, the characteristics of diaphragm type pumps, and how to prevent injection troubles.
A metering pump is a pump designed to deliver a specific amount of liquid at a time. In water treatment facilities, it is used in processes that involve gradually injecting chemicals for disinfection.
■ What is the relationship with dosing pumps?
"Dosing" is a shortened term for chemical injection. Even when looking at guidelines for wastewater treatment by municipalities, there are various terms such as "dosing pump," "chemical injection pump," and "injection pump." In other words, a dosing pump is named for its role in delivering chemicals. The type of metering pump commonly used for this purpose is the dosing metering pump.
■ Why is "metering" important?
If there is not enough chemical, the treatment will not proceed adequately. Conversely, if too much is added, it can hinder the treatment process. The ability to consistently deliver the targeted amount supports the results of water treatment.
■ What about thinking of a syringe?
If you push the piston the same distance each time, you will get almost the same amount each time. Increasing the number of pushes will increase the total amount delivered. A metering pump also determines the amount delivered based on the combination of the amount pushed out in one stroke and the number of strokes. Please feel free to consult us.
